Garnbret does Za staro kolo in majhnega psa (8c+)

Janja Garnbret reports on Instagram that she has done the first female ascent of Za staro kolo in majhnega psa (8c+) in Mišja Peč. Tadej Slabe put it up in 1992 and it has only four logged ascents in the VL database and even Adam Ondra tagged it as ”hard”. Garnbret who previously has done two 9a’s says that she would agree on an upgrade and that this was her longest project ever. She started trying it in 2022 but never felt strong enough until this year.

Last month she onsighted her third 8c and last year she did her first 8C boulder. With her current form, she appears to be at her strongest yet—an exciting prospect as she returns to the competition circuit, where she has dominated for years. At 26, the Slovenian is widely regarded as the greatest competition climber of all time. A two-time Olympic gold medalist, she has claimed an impressive 46 Lead and Boulder World Cup victories.
